Brandon released his grip on Ian’s collar. Afraid that Ashton and Briar might overhear them, he pulled lan farther away.

“Don’t worry; Mr. Wade is so accommodating towards his wife that he wouldn’t retaliate or respond, even if she were aggressive with him.” Hearing Brandon’s strange explanation, Ian couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

By the time they finished whispering, they turned around to find that Briar and Ashton had left the yard. As they looked up, the light in the second–floor bedroom turned on.

‘Are they already going to bed? Didn’t they just say they were going after the Lopezs? What happened to their plan to take down the Lopezs?‘ Ian wondered.

As Ian started to head inside, Brandon pulled him back. “Hey, where do you think you’re going?”

“Time for bed! Briar had already fallen asleep, so why am I still lingering here?” Ian remarked with a shrug, shaking off Brandon’s grip as he walked away. He even raised his noble feet while passing by a group of assassins tied up in the yard.

Brandon closed his eyes, at a loss for words. Just as Ian was about to walk through the main gate, Brandon lunged forward and pulled him back. “What does it matter to us that they are resting? You can help me deal with these guys before we sleep.”

Ian hesitated as Brandon passed his gun to him. “Didn’t you say you were eager for some action? Here, take the gun. Do as you wish.”

Ian instantly grabbed Brandon’s gun and found it impossible to let go. It was a custom–made, limited–edition model that he had admired before and had longed for ever since. But Brandon cherished it and would not allow him to touch it, yet now he was being generous.

In the bedroom, Briar lounged against the headboard, tapping her finger against her forehead as she watched Ashton slowly undress, her eyes sparkling. Ashton felt the heat of her gaze on his back. “Honey, if you keep looking at me like that, something’s going to happen.”
